In the United States, Super Tuesday, in general, refers to the Tuesday in February or March of a presidential election year when the greatest number of states hold primary elections to select delegates to national conventions at which each party's presidential candidates are officially nominated. The phrase "Super Tuesday" has been used to refer to presidential primary elections since at least 1976. More delegates can be won on Super Tuesday than on any other single day of the primary calendar; accordingly, candidates seeking the presidency traditionally must do well on this day to secure their party's nomination. In 2008, Super Tuesday was February 5; 24 states held primaries or caucuses on this date, with 52% of all pledged Democratic Party delegates and 49% of the total Republican Party delegates at stake. The 2016 Super Tuesday will be held on March 1.
Since Super Tuesday primaries are typically held in a large number of states from geographically and socially diverse regions of the country, Super Tuesday typically represents a presidential candidate's first test of national electability. Convincing wins in Super Tuesday primaries have usually propelled candidates to their party's nomination. The particular states holding primaries on Super Tuesday have varied from year to year.
Super Tuesday 2008, Super Duper Tuesday,Mega Tuesday,Giga Tuesday,Tsunami Tuesday, and The Tuesday of Destiny are names for February 5, 2008, the day on which the largest simultaneous number of state U.S. presidential primary elections in the history of U.S. primaries were held. Twenty-four states and American Samoa¤ held either caucuses or primary elections for one or both parties on this date. Furthermore, the week-long Democrats Abroad Global Primary began on this day.
The large number of states that held elections on February 5 could have shortened the period between the first caucus in Iowa, on January 3, 2008, and the de facto selection of a party's nominee to just a few weeks. Super Tuesday 2008 saw 52% of the Democratic and 41% of the Republican delegates awarded by early February 2008. By comparison, only about 1% of nominating convention delegates had been selected by that point in the 2000 election cycle. It was held approximately one month before Super Tuesday II.
Super Tuesday II, 2008 is the name, for 4 March 2008, the day on which the second largest simultaneous number of state presidential primary elections was held for the 2008 presidential election cycle. On this day, Mike Huckabee withdrew from the race when John McCain won enough delegates to claim the Republican nomination for President. It was the second Super Tuesday election of 2008 and took place approximately one month after the first Super Tuesday of this election. The Democratic primaries saw 444 delegates selected on this date, with 265 delegates in the Republican primaries.
After the front-loading rush that saw twenty-four states hold their caucuses and primaries on Super Tuesday, 2008, only four states -Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, and Vermont- remained on the traditional March Super Tuesday date. This caused pundits in the states left behind to note that "this year, however, Super Tuesday isn't so super." The 2004 election cycle saw a similar but smaller split, with seven states holding elections in February on Mini-Tuesday, and ten holding contests on Super Tuesday II on the traditional March date.
The 2020 Super Tuesday primary elections fall on March 3 and encompass 14 states. It's the biggest contest for competing Democrats seeking their party's presidential nomination.

it aint a mystery
that US history
was built upon the graves
of native ways and beaten slaves
yeah, we're all free and brave
until we misbehave
and there's just no escape
from the crushing weight
of the police state
chorus:
two towers falling down
i'll be at zero ground
we're flying friendly skies
until the city dies
and neither one will save
the human history
empiers will always fall
this is the final call
(spoken)
the world bank and the IMF have created a system of modern day colonialism that make the people of the developing world poorer and the multi-national corperations richer and take the power away from all of us. It's time to take back control of our lives and tear down these monuments to greed and build our new world from the broken peices.
i pledge allegience to no flag
top the bottle with an oily rag
we're building up an army fast
to destroy the pigs and break the upper class
im only one this is my voice
but you're gonna have ta make a choice
i dont care if you disagree
'cause this fucking thing
it means the whole world to me
we won't be hypnotized
by all the millionaires
this time the truth is told
when you're sick to death of being bought and sold
our freedom's been misplaced
fuck that it's been erased
the worlds your shooting range
im gonna spare some change
to uphold the stock exchange
(spoken)
their skewed development polocies kill people every day and they keep us so hypnotized that even though it's right in front of our eyes we don't see it. World Trade is a death machine.
